In that case, doesn't your password manager support TOTP?

You missed their point, they might not want to carry a smartphone and 2FA requires you to _have_ something.

You missed their point, accessing a website also requires you to have _something_, namely a device with a browser. If you have a device with a browser, then you have a device with a password manager.

Unless you only access that site via public infrastructure like a library, but that might not be infrastructure that you want confidential information to run over, because everybody and the milkman has access to it. And even then, 1Password for example also has an online version that you can access in those cases.

Hell you can literally run TOTP via pen and paper if you want to (though you probably need to compute it a few windows in advance, especially with the hmac_sha1).

The world is too complicated already to care that much about some insignificant websites.
